I do not need a solution (just sharing information)
I have a workaround for this problem that i couldn't find any solutions to in the forum so i thought i'd share. This problem seems to be related to the timing or lack there of the service 'netlogon' when a connection is initiated. If you inititate a connection (while you already have the windows services window up) and then immediately start the 'netlogon' service, the login window appears as it should. Not manually starting the service, I can recreate the error every time and vice versa.
This is Windows 7 Ultimate 64b to Windows 7 32b
